How does a "script" differ from a "program" or "subroutine"?

[Phil Frost]

A subroutine is another name for "procedure", "function", or "method".
They are made like this:

def fu():
  ...

A program can contain any number of subroutines, along with classes,
variables, etc.

A script is just a program, but has the implication that it's a simple
program for a simple task.
